Classic/Antique Car Repair: Bentley T MPW Coupe, napa auto parts, rolls royce and bentley
Caliper
Hello
I am the proud new owner of a '67 mpw coupe that has been in my family for a bit.  the car is in greece but will be headed for the states soon.  the Bentley workshop ordered a repair kit for the rear calipers which did not contain a small o-ring shown in the attached link.  Knowing a bit about these cars (my brother has a rr version), I asked about the condition ofhydraulic system and was told some chassis numbers did not have levelers and this was on of them.  my questions are: 1; do you know where i can get this o-ring?, and 2; have you heard of any cars that did not have the hydraulic leveling system?

Hi Larry:
All 67 Rolls Royce and Bentley had Hydraulic brakes and leveling systems. However, in 1977 they remove the rear leveling hydraulics because they prove useless. There are still Crewe, England Bentley and Rolls Royce repair shops around and on-line parts company. If you give me your city and state, I will see if there is one near you. I also have found after-market parts for these cars at NAPA auto parts.
